The Richard Nicoll 2013 Fall/Winter collection is a post punk revival of modern-day menswear fashions. The inspiration for the series came from the underground art movement in New York during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Lead designer Nicoll wanted to present a contemporary incarnation of this time with a more polished aesthetic.
The clean-lined collection boasts a slew of beanies, metallics and ready-to-wear pieces. Instead of creating a collection of unwearable concept pieces Nicoll went for functionality and refinement. Each piece is fit to perfection and toys with volume and layering. Highlights of the collection include an over-sized silver jacket and an all-leather pant suit with an industrial vibe.
The Richard Nicoll 2013 Fall/Winter collection is a modern interpretation of post punk and industrial fashions that are hip and sleek.
